New Year but the speed limit hasn't changed. A lot of speeding goes on along this road. Our local volunteers are doing their bit to persuade drivers into more law-abiding ways. The general idea is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/66-in-a-20mph-zone/ and the man to contact if you want to join in is PCSO Kevin Phillips on kevin.j.phillips@met.police.uk
Meet Canada Water Library 10am and catch 10.08 am Overground train to Sydenham. The Overground is well-designed for carrying bikes and the lifts get you to the platform at Canada Water. Ride down to Bells Green and join the Waterlink Way (Nat Route 21). Follow this via Ladywell Fields and Brookmill Park until it meets […]

Usual easy-paced ride using lots of quiet streets and paths, but with some short stretches of busy road. Plan is to do a circular ride from Burgess Park to the Royal Parks. Out via Waterloo Bridge, Covent Garden and Bloomsbury to Regents Park. Probably coffee stop there, then via Marylebone to Hyde Park. Circuit of […]
This is a drop-in not a course so what gets taught is pretty random. You bring the problems and the guys teach you how to fix them. This is the place to bring the bike covered in spiders which you found in your Mam’s shed. They also do less long term stuff like “How do […]
The team are concentrating on this bit of fast road which is used as a cut through by every van driver in south London. It's also used by young people from Dulwich College and Kingswood School. And is made still more fun by a blind left turn. To show your support email PCSO Kevin Phillips […]
Start/finish at Peckham Square (by Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5JR) Easy paced 9 mile circuit, plenty of time to stop at places of interest over a 2 hour ride. Set out down the Canal Path to join CW1 (was Quietway 1) and follow this excellent route to Blackfriars Road. Do 2-stage […]
Reduce, re-use, re-cycle. How about Repair? This is a skill-sharing event and we will be sending our pro-mechanic to share his skills and teach other people to fettle their bikes. This is a community event to draw on skills in the community to mend stuff and get stuff mended. My grandad used to mend his […]
A Southwark Cyclist volunteer will be standing beside the road with a speed gun and a PCSO in full uniform beside him. Both of them have to wear hi-vis (because rules). Still drivers don't spot them. Just bear that in mind when you are wondering if a driver has seen you or not. To join […]
An undulating (might be considered "a bit hilly") route on mostly quiet streets through Tulse Hill. Round the west part of the Streatham Common then up to the Rookery Cafe where if time a coffee break. Return up through the common to Leigham Court Rd then quiet streets to Norwood Park. Detour slightly to criss-cross […]
